🎉❤️ Arca ORM now gives you the choice between using UUID or ID as your primary key

[ipranjal]

switching to use uuid is as simple as $db->useUUID() , it is important to note DO NOT SWITCH BETWEEN USING UUID AND ID ALTERNATIVELY IT WILL CAUSE DB CORRUPTION , while using id works with almost all use case using UUID comes with its own set of benefits. Check this article for some pros and cons. If you want to keep using auto increment as id and want to add uuid to the mix you can do this by just adding uuid to your model before saving.

use Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid;

// using UUID in mixture with id

//while saving data 
$user = $db->create('user');
$user->uuid = UUID::uuid4()->toString();
$user->name = "John Doe";
$user->email = "[email protected]";
$user->age = 22;
$user->save();

// If you don't want to expose your id and just wanna send uuid to response just do this after retrival
$id = 1;
$user = $db->get('user',$id);
unset($user->id);
